WELCOME

certain you will be pleased with your purchase of one of the finest 
snow blowers on the market. We want to help you get the best results 
from your new snow blower and to operate it safely. This manual 
contains the information on how to do that; please read it carefully.

When your snow blower needs scheduled maintenance, keep in mind 
that Honda Power Equipment servicing dealer personnel are specially 
trained in servicing Honda snow blowers and supported by the parts 
and service divisions of American Honda.

Please read th

“DISTRIBUTOR’S LIMITED WARRANTY” on 

page 27

 and the 

“EMISSION SYSTEM WARRANTY” on 

page 28

 to 

fully understand what is covered by warranty and your responsibilities 
of ownership.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important. We have 
provided important safety messages in this manual and on the snow 
blower. This information alerts you to potential hazards that could hurt 
you or others. Please read these messages carefully.

Of course, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the 
hazards associated with operating or maintaining a snow blower. You 
must use your own good judgment.

Safety Instructions

You will find important safety information in a variety of forms:

Safety Labels

 – on the snow blower

Instructions

 – how to use this snow blower correctly and safely

Safety Messages

 – preceded by a safety alert symbol

and 

one of three signal words, DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. 
Each message tells you what the hazard is, what can happen, and 
what you can do to avoid or reduce injury. These signal words 
mean:

 •

Damage Prevention Messages

 – you will also see other 

important messages that are preceded by the word NOTICE. This 
word means:

California Proposition 65

This product contains or emits 

chemicals known to the State of 
California to cause cancer, birth 

defects, or other reproductive harm.

Important Message to Parents

The safety of your children is very important to Honda. Snow blowers 
are tools, not toys. As with any equipment, bad judgments can result 
in serious injuries. Your child must be big enough, strong enough, and 
have the coordination necessary to comfortably reach and operate the 
controls. Anyone who takes unnecessary risks and doesn’t obey rules 
should not operate this snow blower.

Important Message to Employers

As an employer, you have special responsibilities to the people who 
work for you.

Before you ask anyone to operate this snow blower, you need to 
determine whether the person is old enough, large enough, and 
strong enough to safely handle and control the snow blower.

If you decide he/she is, make sure the employee reads and 
understands all instructions and warnings in this manual and on the 
labels before operating the snow blower.

Allow adequate time for hands-on training by a qualified instructor, 
and personally supervise practice sessions until you feel sure the 
employee is ready to operate the machine.

Also be sure employees wear proper clothing and have eye protection 
and any other gear that may be required by local ordinances or your 
insurance company.

Remember, too, that you are responsible for keeping the snow blower 
properly maintained and in safe operating condition.

Your commitment to safety on the job can help prevent injuries and 
result in longer and more productive years of service.

Safety Label Locations

These labels warn you of potential hazards that can cause serious 
injury. Read them carefully. If a label comes off or becomes hard to 
read, contact an authorized Honda servicing dealer for a replacement.
